Senior Front-End Developer / bazinga! Technologies

In my position at bazinga! I have implemented and helped design major features, contributed to the development of procedures and processes, and worked closely with colleagues across the team to fulfill product goals in the most effective, concise and future-conscious manner possible. My time with the company has instilled a strong sense of ownership and responsibility for the success of the product - whether it involves rallying a strike team to resolve an unforeseen issue, or making difficult choices about how to deliver features in a seemingly-impossible time frame. I also often had a hand in UX design for many features.

Part-time website development work. Emphasis on Dreamweaver, Photoshop and CGI programming with Perl.
